When the Marxists get in power, not only is there far more 'want', but there's a lot of straight-up murder too. Not sure how you missed the 20th century entirely in your history classes.

Oh everyone else covered the necessary response to your spin just fine, I don't feel the need to add on. A good day to you sir!

I just want to say your username is lovely for this kind of post!

San Onofre botched their Steam Generators to be sure, but they could have safely run them at a lower power level (80%) for decades. The hostile political environment resulted in a requirement to re-license at this lower power level. That process- given the aforementioned hostile environment- would have been prohibitively expensive.
The Fukushima comparison... well I'll say that's a unique charge against the site. The coastal location of the damaged Japanese plants was not the sole factor that lead to their disaster, and I don't believe those other factors were present for San Onofre in this slightest. But if you have some material I've missed, please share.

What they broadcast doesn't appear to have a significant bias, but the dirty secret is that any topic that can't be spinned to neutral or right leaning, Fox doesn't air, or they bury it 25 stories down.

How, pray tell, do you determine that your favorite news outlet isn't doing the same thing, but in service of a view point you favor?

They're usually racist against blacks as well, in a condescending, low-expectations fashion.
The Smithsonian just put out- and then memory-holed- a graphic saying that "thinking about the future" and "being on time" are oppressive aspects of 'white cultural supremacy'.
These people are insane retrogrades, and will take us straight back to raw tribalism if we let them. They are openly rejecting objectivity, rationalism, and every personal / behavioural trait that lead to our modern world.

Would you silence people outside of Reddit or any territory you rightfully control if you could? Because a lot of your fellow travelers sure would. But maybe you're different. Tell me, do you value discourse? Or is all disagreement 'hate speech'?

Considering that in the USA we had essentially full employment before the COVID-10 'response', I'd say we'll accept it as soon as it starts actually happening. We seem to keep finding more things for people to do.

As for the 'government handouts' you talk about, I think you've got your causes and effects mixed up. A Walmart employee on public assistance raises their standard of living above living on government assistance alone, or living on their wages alone. You seem to imply that in the absence of government assistance, that Walmart employee would not get that job at all. I suggest the individual would still choose to seek employment, and would rather living on Walmart wages than beggar's receipts.

Not sure who you're railing against, because you are incorrect as far as the US goes.

In the US, the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 obligated the Department of Energy to provide long-term storage of nuclear waste, and it funded this mandate with a per-kilowatt-hour tax on nuclear fuel. The funds thus collected paid for about 75% of the Yucca mountain facility construction, with the other 25% paid by the federal government in order to store waste products of nuclear weapons production.

The fund collected from these taxes currently stands at about $45 billion dollars. With the delays in opening Yucca mountain, nuclear waste from energy production is currently sitting around the country in dry fuel storage facilities at individual nuclear sites.

Let's split this cake the old-fashioned way. You get your anti-hate speech laws, and then I get to define what constitutes hate speech.

Oh? You thought to keep all this power to yourself?

You prove my point. You have only accused. You have no substance.

I found a USA today article with the quote you cited in it, and the article says why: They claimed they couldn't come up with $8,000,000 to do so, and they sought money from the community to do the work. Doing some back of the envelope calcs about the potential revenue from a 4.8 MW hydro plant, and knowing nothing about Boyce's other holdings, this is a credible claim on it's face. Certainly after their ability to sell electricity as a FERC participant was terminated, their financial abilities decreased further.

But if you're trying to let the governor off the hook, the USA Today article you cited has another interesting quote:
"With its power permit revoked, the Edenville Dam's regulation fell to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy. However, an EGLE inspection of the dam in October 2018 found it in "fair" condition, despite FERC's alarming findings only about a month earlier."

'Dog whistling' is the new version of 'THAT'S RACIST'; it's the argument of last resort when the lefty has no real arguments for their position.

Since there's no basis for the charge of 'dog whistling' besides the sentiment of the accuser, it can only be an attempt to shut down all conversation through shaming.

For everyone else reading, if someone accuses you of being racist or engaging in 'racist dog-whistling', thank them for their surrender in the current debate. It's just another ad-homonym attack when they've run out of intelligently founded arguments.

I swear some of these people have been pathologically conditioned to fall back on 'RACIST' whenever their destructive ideas are effectively challenged.

Because the federal government tries to 'help' by making more money available, by way of grants and low-interest, unbankruptle loans, which has enabled colleges to raise prices by the amount of the 'help.'
The money available by this 'help' has increased at a rate far above inflation, so the cost of colleges has likewise increased. Sure, most of the colleges involved are 'non-profit', but the people running them still like high salaries, huge staffs, and fancy buildings.

Then, I suppose, the question is this- Are you going to build a legacy your kids can build further from? Or are you going to contribute to class warfare and jealousy, and ensure no crabs get out of the bucket?
